Overview
Carpathians is a ground forces map available in all modes, it was added in Update 1.41.27.12 (a major patch between Update 1.41 and 1.43). The map is set in the Carpathian Mountain range, in Eastern Europe. The center of the map is an open field, with some natural depressions, and a trench system in the middle, to provide cover. There are a few rocky hills in the north-east, and south of the map and a main, larger hill in the west. There is a ruined castle on top the western hill providing a location for close quarters flights, and a good position to shoot down on players in the middle and east of the map.
The tank battles map is 2km x 2km and the air battles map is 65km x 65km.

Game Description
Two armies ran into a fight for possession of the mountain pass.
Historical Background
The Carpathians is a mountain range stretching throughout Central Europe into Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Today the Carpathians is divided into three sections, Western (Czechoslovakia, Poland, Slovakia), Eastern (southeastern poland, eastern Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania), and Southern (Romania, Serbia). As a range passing through most of the Eastern Front, the Germans attempt to defend the Carpathian region via the passes while the Soviets attempt to break through the mountain ranges. This culminated to the Battle of Dukla Pass that lasted from September to October 1944. The battle ended indecisively with both sides suffering losses, but the Axis' dwindling manpower causes them to withdraw and the Soviets were able to continue and liberate Ukraine.
The ruined castle on the map bears some resemblance to Spiš Castle in modern day Slovakia.

Trivia
- The famous voice message "Attack/Defend the D point" was added exclusively for this map - at one point there was a version of the map where a D point would appear on the map during the game randomly as a "Supply Crate". Capturing the point would've reduce enemy's tickets in a big quantity and the point would disappear.
